Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4497: Final Touch

Time passed.

Mingzhi gained entry to Davis’s seclusion chamber. She only had to wait for some time for Everlight to let her in. Otherwise, she could see Davis’s growth through her own eyes.

As Myria said, he was able to walk in three days, talk in a week, become a child in two months, become a teenager in four months, and turn into an adult in six months. Apparently, it was the fastest he had ever grown-no, recovered his cultivation, and his body responded in tandem.

In terms of actual bone age, he was only six months old.

Hence, he kept saying he was half a year old every time he came out of seclusion.

If he weren’t six months old right now, then he wouldn’t be considered to have succeeded in reincarnation. And since he was born anew each time, it really felt like a long time to him, as though his memories were from a different time period.

However, after reuniting with them again, those memories had their haziness disperse like wind blowing through a region. They lit up like beacons in the sea of consciousness, filling him with numerous emotions.

"I see. You worked hard." Mingzhi clung to his arm as she listened to him explain when she came to get him, when his seclusion was finally over.

"Hmm." Davis nodded, "I no longer feel a bottleneck. If I want, I could probably break through. However, I’d probably be kicked out of the layer or even crushed because I would-"

"-match an Exalt in prowess as a Level One Empyrean?" Mingzhi asked, her expression full of expectation.

"I think so." Davis chuckled.

"Hehe~" Mingzhi jumped up and clenched her fist, "You would easily pass your tribulation, and when you roam the lands again, everyone will tremble in your presence. Even the heaven and earth will obey your words."

"Haha." Davis chuckled at her.

Behind them, Myria and Everlight also giggled.

"It won’t be that easy though~" Myria abruptly added.

"What do you mean?" Mingzhi turned to look at her, blinking.

"Oh? I haven’t explained it yet? But you should’ve realized the strangeness. Even though he is reborn and breaking through cultivation stages, he’s not encountering what he should be encountering."

"Tribulations..." Mingzhi gawked.

She already thought of it, but had just chalked it up to him being the same person, even though he was reincarnation.

"Indeed," Myria nodded, "Every reincarnation he undergoes, he gains an immense amount of karmic burden. Every stage he crosses, he receives karmic burden. Most likely, all of it will gather and strike him during his Empyrean Heavenly Tribulation. It is bound to be much more powerful than his Immortal Emperor Heavenly Tribulation or even the World Master’s Heavenly Tribulation."

"..."

Mingzhi’s jaws dropped. She cast a gaze at Davis, who coughed lightly, not refuting it.

"Well, rather than the heavens doing it, I think this is a part of my Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul Physique’s uniqueness. I do feel that there’s no longer a bottleneck, after all."

Davis explained.

Mingzhi’s face churned. Her expression was as though she was contemplating the consequences of this matter, her smile wilting and replaced with a sad look.

"Then you should spend the last year training..."

"...?" Davis raised his brows.

For Mingzhi, he believed that was a huge concession on her part.

"Nah, I’m still invincible."

Davis stood up, reaching out his hand and pulling on her waist, "I think taming you is more difficult than enduring the strikes from the heavens."

"You rogue~"

Mingzhi couldn’t help but smile. She bit her velvet lips, looking into his charming sapphire eyes. His hand over her waist carried a magnetic force that she couldn’t escape from him, but the attraction his lips held was far more to her.

However, she pushed him away and stepped back.

Davis blinked. Had he said something wrong?

"I might be annoying sometimes, but I’m here to help you when I said I wanted to be here. It’s Myria’s turn to receive your smoldering love, right?"

Mingzhi turned to look at him, a playful light emerging in her eyes.

"..."

Davis went speechless. He was only going for a kiss. In any case, he turned to look at Myria, who averted her gaze.

’It seems like I need to teach her that she’s my wife and not my mother once again.’

He did enjoy the milk, but it was only for three days. The effects of it also remained hidden, never surfacing again. He didn’t know how to activate it. Perhaps drinking again would help?

He didn’t know.

However, as Mingzhi said, he was going to use his ninth reincarnation’s primal yang essence on Myria. It was unknown what type of effect it would have on Myria, so he kept her for last. After all, their union and devouring souls caused a new reincarnation cycle to form, bringing about officials from the Reincarnation Dimension. Who was to say the same thing wouldn’t happen when he thrust his yang essence inside her?

Still, he hoped such a thing wouldn’t happen. He felt it would be perfect if she got the same uniqueness as him, having some kind of symbol on her forehead that signifies something, most likely life and death. Then he imagined that their symbols could activate like some kind of dual cultivation mark, hopefully increasing their prowess more than their usual soul essence sharing method.

"Myria, let’s go. We’re doing it somewhere other than here for the safety of our family."

"Can you not be so open about it?"

Myria pouted, but she still walked forward to take his hand.

She was also aware that he was going to bestow her with his primal yang essence. She had already advised against it since she also feared the same, but he wouldn’t listen. After seeing Davis develop something innate, she was also curious if she could receive something like that.

A girlish thought swelled inside her. Even if it doesn’t do anything, if it matched, making them look like a couple, a match made in heaven, then she felt it would be marvelous.

Davis took Myria and left.

On the other hand, Mingzhi looked at Everlight, "You were awesome, Everlight. You have always been a great help. Without you, he really might’ve had to kill himself brutally each time in order to activate his Ghost Will and revive through his innate reincarnation physique."

"Anything for master~" Everlight said sweetly.

"So, have you revealed it yet?"

"..." Everlight blinked but smiled joyfully, "No, I didn’t since I was afraid he would postpone his last two reincarnations."

Mingzhi smirked, "Then you better tell him when he comes back that you’re pregnant. How many?"

"Two~"

Everlight smiled brightly. She didn’t find it strange that Mingzhi found out since the latter would’ve used Heart intent while Davis didn’t use it on her.

"That’s great. His primal yang essence really does have a great effect, getting us pregnant. However, I got the short end of the stick..."

Mingzhi pouted. Unfortunately, she didn’t get pregnant again. Maybe it was because she was an Empyrean that the hurdle was great.

"With how aggressive you are, you will have a child again sooner or later, Mingzhi. I couldn’t bring myself to be that bold."

Everlight giggled, continuing, "Still, it’s as you said. His primal yang essence really was the one that got me pregnant."

"So, I guess for the nine reincarnations he went here, he bestowed his primal yang essence to Natalya, Ellia, Zestria, Tanya, Yilla, you, and me. The last one is Myria, but I’m not sure who the other one is."

"Yilla? Yilla didn’t get pregnant." Everlight blinked.

Mingzhi shook her head, "But she did say to me that she got his primal yang essence. I think it should be either Sophie or Fiora, but if it were Fiora, she would’ve already said to me, so by process of elimination, I think it should be Sophie. Or it could be one of the wolf fey twins. Maybe I’m wrong. Tanya and Zestria got pregnant around the same time, so only one of them could’ve possibly received it."

"But who said one can’t share?"

Mingzhi shrugged, causing Everlight to turn speechless.

"You-you really are bold. You need to be punished~"

"Hahaha~"

Everlight’s nine tails blossomed and attacked Mingzhi’s sensitive spots, tickling her to death.
